Evening dining and the bar scene
Mr. Edison is the hotel's main evening destination for a polished supper-club dinner in the lobby; the bar stays open later than kitchen service on many nights. Pergola also offers dinner with city views on the 19th floor and often stays open later on Fridays and Saturdays.
The hotel lists an on-site lobby bar with morning offerings and a 19th-floor bar connected to Pergola; both are suitable for pre-theater meals given the hotel's location on the Avenue of the Arts.
- Mr. Edison: Dinner-focused; bar hours extend beyond dinner service on weekends.
- Pergola: Dinner 5:00–10:00 PM Sun–Thu; 5:00–11:00 PM Fri–Sat.
- Good for pre- or post-show dining due to proximity to the Academy of Music and Kimmel Center.
| Venue | Evening note |
|---|---|
| Mr. Edison | Supper-club setting; bar open later than kitchen on many nights |
| Pergola Bar | Rooftop views; later service on weekends |
